"We can be heroes"...and make a difference in our world!

Nineteen-ninety 1990 was a very important year in my personal history and the history of Nyack. It was the last year the "old high school" graduated a class, I turned the milestone age of 18 and went off to college and the Nyack Center was founded.

My uncle Andrew Minniefield was the general contractor responsible for renovating the Nyack Center; I experienced one of the best days of my life surrounded by family when my wedding reception was held in the Center's ballroom; Through the years my children have participated in the after school and other programs; Two of my daughters have worked for Camp Nyack; and Our family is grateful for positive, community space that is the Nyack Center.

... 25 years later

I am honored to be sworn in as one of the newest members of the Nyack Center Board of Directors, an enthusiastic supporter of the centers programs and look forward to celebrating the first quarter century of the Nyack Center at its Gala on Saturday, November 14, 2015.

Each time "they" tear down, "we" will raise up another. I was not their 'home' to take part in this era, because my generation's time to stand up for what is right and necessary was decades before, and the same type battles were fought then as the challenges that faced this Nyack Center over a twenty-five year period of longevity.

Congrats and keep up the hard work...

I'm a former childhood resident that can remember the value of strong support and foundation for a healthy perception when striking out there in what can be an unforgiving world that might shake and crack but never bring down, for this one has been established on solid ground. PEACE and BLESSINGS.
